Cole Family Christmas book GIVEAWAY!!! CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!!! Congratulations to Chelsey for winning this delightful book!

For this giveaway I am offering a copy of this wonderful Christmas book....

COLE FAMILY CHRISTMAS by Jennifer Liu Bryan with Hazel Cole Kendle: The wish book. This amazing year, the nine children in the Cole family have been allowed to sit down with the Sears, Roebuck and Company catalogue to choose the gift they would most like to receive for Christmas. This is a rare event, for the Coles are not wealthy. This is the true, tender, and wholly unforgettable tale of a coal miner's family, as remembered by the youngest of the family, now 88 years old, and told by her granddaughter-in-law. The story takes place in the small company town of Benham, Kentucky, in a time (1920) and place when coal was king and families made their precarious living mining the dirty and sometimes deadly coal.

I loved this book. I thought it was truly a heartwarming Christmas story that every family could enjoy!

We live in the mountains in a town that was founded primarily because of mining...I would love to read this story to my son as our setting is similar to the one in the book...I love that it focuses on the value of people rather than material things.

The animation of Hilda the goat is done by a computer and a behind the scenes actor! Reminds me of Polar Express except on the fly! Amazing! The youtube footage is great!mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca

Diane Petryk Bloom, Children's Book Examiner, writes that the Cole children were allowed to askfor presents from the Sears catalogue. Even though they had their best Christmas ever none of it came from the Sears catalogue.mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca
